Abstract: Due to the oil price development during the recent years the utilization of nuclear energy has become an interesting alternative also for developing countries. By reason of the low energy requirements, the still insufficient infrastructure, (which particularly occures in the lack of a reliable power supply system), and the difficulties in financing large investments, for developing countries it seems to be advisable to concentrate on small nuclear power plants. In the Federal Republic of Germany these requirements have been taken into account by a small dual-cycle natural circulation boiling water reactor as well as a small helium cooled high temperature reactor with pebble bed core. Concerning the longterm storage of spent fuel elements the concept for dry storage in so-called transport casks which has been developed in the Federal Republic of,Germany seems to be highly qualified for this purpose.
